Most physicians follow an algorithm for diagnosis of breast conditons.  Basically 1. mammo, if anything abnormal then 2. ultrasound, if anything abnormal then 3. core biopsy, if atypical then  4. excisional biopsy.  If early on a serious patholgy is identified, then they may skip some of the steps.

Hi and welcome to our community,

I'm not sure what your question is, but if the title of your question indicates what you hoped to learn, unfortunately, we can't provide that information.

Only the pathology report from your biopsy can  provide a definite answer.

Best wishes...
